You know crickets as tiny, noisy, nocturnal insects. But have you ever imagined having them on your plate as food? Before you gag, you might want to indulge Cliff Henry Olal, the CEO and founder of Eco-Dudu Ranch—a cricket farming enterprise.
When we get to his farm in Njiru, Kasarani constituency in Nairobi on a cold Thursday afternoon, Cliff offers us roasted crickets as welcome snacks. Roasted crickets were the first-ever products his farm produced.
